Chapter 25 Farewell

"By the way, sir," the next morning, the personal guard suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday afternoon, the uncle from the Fukushima family came to you and said he wanted you to help bring the letter."

"Oh? Is that true?" Yu Qiuping calculated the time, "I'll go find some silk... Oh, forget it, I'll go there in person." Yu Qiuping thought about it and decided to help him bring the letter. After all, it was the first time to help them deliver the letter, and he also informed them of the situation at home. It would be more at ease to do this kind of thing in person.

"The uncle also said that more than 200 other families have written letters, and they are afraid of disturbing the adults, so everyone has discussed it before he comes." The personal guard added.

"Okay, Thompson, I might be troubled." Yu Qiuping looked at Charlie, "It may be delaying your archery for a while. I plan to go to Sanhe, but I am not very good at martial arts and I may ask you to protect us."

"It is my honor to serve you." Charlie's words were as short as ever, "Anyway, I can find time to practice archery on the road."

"You guy, you can't live without archery all day." Yu Qiuping smiled.

In the morning, Yu Qiuping and his personal army, Charlie went to each family to collect letters separately. Yu Qiuping also met Asahina Taehyung on the road. The latter was very aggrieved when he heard that Yu Qiuping was going to Mikawa again.

"I want to go too, but I was locked up again because of the last fight. I could only walk around Junfu City, and the city gate was not allowed to go out." Kamainai Taehyung cried, "Are you going alone this time? Can you ride a horse?"

"Yes! I learned it!" Yu Qiuping remembered the humiliation last time and took it back with confidence. "I want to borrow three horses from my elder brother. My two companions also learned riding when they were young."

"No problem, I'll go back to the mansion with me later." Asahitaehyung patted his chest and agreed, "But, your identity is a bit embarrassing. If you are not a samurai, you may not be able to stay in the inn."

"Let's do this," Taehyung Slammed his head, "I just happen to have several vacancies in the position of the squad generals. I will first appoint a squad general for you to go back and give you a waist card and a flag. In this way, you will be the samurai warrior of our squad family, which is more convenient along the way." He thought about it carefully and added, "It's just to repay you for saving your life last time... Hehe, the old guys in the family can only shut up."

Yu Qiuping, who originally wanted to refuse, thought again. If he became a warrior, would his identity be closer to that lady? So he agreed gratefully.

At noon, Yu Qiuping and Charlie, the Princess returned to the store to gather. The Princesss asked to leave after lunch. However, Yu Qiuping interrupted in embarrassment and said, "This... I may have some urgent matters in the back mountain. Let's wait for me to come back before leaving."

Charlie and the personal guards looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

"You won't ask me what's going on?" Yu Qiuping couldn't say the excuse he prepared, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"No questions," Charlie replied simply. Yu Qiuping, who was confused, left after dinner.

When he arrived on the back mountain, the girl couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard that Yu Qiuping was going to Sanhe and it would take half a month to come back. But after hearing that Yu Qiuping was delivering letters for the more than 200 slaves, the girl suddenly smiled happily and proudly on her face.

"Then Pingjun is careful all the way. Sanheweizhang is still fighting, don't run to the front line." The girl reminded with concern.

"Don't worry, it's good to wait for me to come back. I'm really sorry for these ten days." Yu Qiuping suddenly felt warm in his heart. There was a girl who told him about her feelings before she set off. It was really good.

"Will the lady be here every afternoon after I come back?" Yu Qiuping suddenly asked with some concern.

"It's safe, Pingjun," Yu Qiuping's concern made the girl feel a little happy, "As long as the maple leaves have not fallen, I will come here to see it every day. Wait for you to come back."

After Yu Qiuping left reluctantly, a smile kept hanging on the corner of his mouth.

But suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind and could not be waving it anyway.

What if the maple leaves fall?

This terrible thought made Yu Qiuping feel lost. He noticed the abnormal personal guards and asked why.

"Do you think there is any way to keep maple leaves on the maple tree?" Yu Qiuping suddenly asked.

"Uh...this." The personal guard was stunned for a moment, "What can I do? Before winter, the maple leaves will eventually fall."

"Yes... then..." Yu Qiuping sighed lowly.

"Make your own leaves." Charlie interjected.

"What does it mean?" Yu Qiuping raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Buy some red paper, fold the leaves and hang them on it." Charlie added, "Don't you, Mingguo, do you all have origami?"

"It makes sense!" Although it was just a nonsensical idea, he was like a life-saving straw for the young man who was deeply involved in love. Yu Qiuping immediately went to the workshop next to buy a lot of red paper and came back. "Anyway, I can't rush to the road at night," Yu Qiuping smiled, "I'll break the red leaves at night." After that, he used scissors to cut the paper and made a square square. When he was a child, he liked red leaves the most. Although his skills and skills were not qualified, his red leaves were first-class. He broke a vivid red leaf in just two seconds.

"I didn't expect that sir would have such skills." The personal guards sighed, and Yu Qiuping carefully stuffed the red paper into his luggage.

"Get ready to go out." Yu Qiuping called out the two of them.

On the afternoon of July 23, Yu Qiuping and his group left Jun Mansion and ran west along the official road. They said they were racing. Yu Qiuping, who had just learned how to ride a horse, and the last time they rode a horse, Wei and Charlie, were actually just moving forward. Not to mention 1oo, 6oo was a tough day.

Yu Qiuping brought a map with him, and he had already walked the same road. So there was no problem with the itinerary. During the day, they rushed desperately on the road. At night, Charlie found a place near the inn to practice archery, and the personal guards helped to cook the debris. Yu Qiuping tried hard to fold the red leaves next to the oil lamp. In one night, he broke almost 70 pieces.

The group was not particularly anxious. Four days later, they had already arrived in Yoshida Castle in Sanhe.

On the evening of July 27, when the station collapsed, Yu Qiuping pointed out the red leaves he had broken, with more than 260. He couldn't help but start looking forward to the whole maple leaf forest full of red leaves before going to bed. The personal guards were still responsible for taking care of all the chores in an orderly manner, like a big housekeeper. After falling asleep, Yu Qiuping didn't know that that night, between Sanhe, Tok River, and Suruga, the messenger was flying on torches.

In the early morning of July 28, Yu Qiuhei and his group had just finished their breakfast and were leading their horses and preparing to leave Yoshida Castle. Suddenly, another team of dozens of cavalrymen entered from the south gate of Yoshida Castle, and rushed straight toward the Tianshou Pavilion where Yu Qiuhei was. When the dozens of people approached, Yu Qiuhei recognized the person that Yu Qiuhei seemed to be the one who was inviting Macheng to talk to him very much. However, the latter had a serious expression and a nervous expression at this moment, which made Yu Qiuhei's greetings stuck in his throat.

"Are the retainers of the Asahina family?" Semei Shizuki glanced at the flag on Yuqiuhei's back, as if he was about to issue an order, but suddenly recognized Yuqiuhei, "Oh? Hongyejun. Why are you here?"

"But now isn't the time to talk about this," Sere Shin-se, who was easy-going in the past, was very serious at the moment. "Hongye-kun and your companions are already warriors of the Asahina family."

"That's right." Yu Qiuping answered honestly.

"I'm very sorry, I'm going to get Hongye Jun into the war," Semeshi Shizu took out a command arrow in his arms, "This is the command arrow of the family governor. I ordered me Semeshi Shizushi Shizushi to go out of the Shima Castle and gather all the Imakawa retainers found on the way to gather into an emergency reserve team and go to Mikawa."

After Toshi Semei said that, a black-clothed entourage next to him handed the golden arrow to Yu Qiuping, who was confused. "Please check the arrow," the entourage's tone was very cold, without any emotion. Yu Qiuping glanced at the latter's face, with no expression on his face full of murderous aura. What's even more surprising is that a crow was docked on his shoulder, and he was staring at himself with dark yellow eyes. "If the check is correct," the entourage said coldly when he saw that Yu Qiuping had no intention of leaving, "Just ask the entourage to follow the team. This is the order of the family governor, and you cannot disobey."

"Kingde, don't be so fierce. Hongyejun is a well-educated person." Semeishi Toshi bent down from his horse and explained to Yu Qiuhei at a loss. "Manhe is facing a crisis. Lord Asahina is gathering troops in Toejiang. I will first bring the gathered personnel to Sanhe to collect information and stabilize the situation. The staff is very short of manpower, so I can only feel sorry for Hongyejun."

Yu Qiuping nodded and glanced at the samurai behind Toshi Semei. They were wearing all kinds of flags. Most of them were not wearing armor like Yu Qiuping. It seemed that they were just in a hurry. Except for a few people who seemed a little reluctant, most of them were still eager to try. Among them, one of them was short and could not sit still excitedly.

"I originally planned to go to Zhilicheng to deliver a letter," Yu Qiuping pointed to the package, "but it seems that this matter cannot be refused, right?" he asked tentatively.

"No." The entourage with the crow replied without hesitation. Serezushi shook his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Hongye Jun. It's the busy farming season, and the militia has been disbanded and returned to the autumn harvest. It will take a long time for Lord Asahina to assemble troops again. Now we really lack manpower and time. Please join the team quickly, please join the team."

"I understand," under Yu Qiuhei's instructions, the personal soldiers, Wei and Charlie also stepped on the horses. Charlie and Wei went to the end of the team, and Yu Qiuhei was left in the team by Shinse Shinto, and came to briefly introduce the situation to him.

"It's great that you have horses, otherwise the horses I brought would not be enough." Semine Shizu smiled bitterly, "There is not much time to talk now, let's add it."

As soon as he ran high and Yu Qiuhei was in a difficult position to maintain balance, while Semine Shizushi began to answer Yu Qiuhei's doubts.

"The cause of this emergency call was that our army in Sankawa area encountered a major setback." Serezushi said with a serious expression, "Now, the force that can be mobile is less than 5oo warriors."

"Ah!" Yu Qiuping was surprised, "Don't we almost have 3ooo soldiers on the front line? What did we have?"

"The Oda family came almost empty, and had a large-scale invasion that had not been seen in nearly a decade. The commander's determination also seemed to be extremely strong. This is far from our previous assessment of the Oda family."

Yu Qiuping only felt a "boom" sound in his head.

He didn't remember that in history, the Oda family had launched a large-scale attack on the Imakawa family before the Battle of Turksama.
